Data Core SANsymphony Storage Servers

Data Core SANsymphony

Data Core SANsymphony is a feature-rich OS that will perform very well on your new CyberStore Storage Appliance. Its an enterprise-class platform that delivers high performance, high availability and contributes to a low TCO. Installing the system is rather straightforward, however if you would prefer to not have to go through the installation process yourself we would be happy to have one of our Broadberry engineers handle the entire set up for you.

Performance

DataCore SANsymphony is a very good choice if you are looking for an OS that is capable of great performance. Performance is boosted by the systems high speed caching. It empowers the existing storage assets, leading to an acceleration of disk I/O and business-critical application performance.

Performance is further boosted by the auto-tiering feature. The system intelligently and efficiently optimises usage based on both cost and performance across differing methods of storage. The random write accelerator increases performance significantly, improving workloads that are characterised by many random writes. There are quality of service controls that ensure the high-priority workloads have predictable I/O performance. This is done by regulating the resources consumed by the lower priority requests.

Availability

DataCore SANsymphony was designed to effectively maintain high availability. This level of availability is maintained through continuous mirroring of data between different physical locations.

A very important feature in maintaining constant availability is asynchronous remote replication. Disaster recovery and migration to a remote site is quick and simple, distant copies are maintained and kept up-to-date without there being any impact on the local performance. Through continuous data protection and recovery, businesses are able to recover disasters by simply rolling back to a previous state and time before the incident occurred. Creating snapshots and backups is easy, as system images can be quickly and efficiently cloned.

Efficiency

Efficiency is one of the cornerstones of this software design. DataCore SANsymphony was built to get the very best out of its resources. Storage pooling consolidates disks, allowing for the cost-efficient tiering of resources. Through thin provisioning the utilisation of storage is improved, enabling cost saving. Data is transparently migrated, allowing for business operations to continue as normal even in cases of data centre relocations or system refreshes. Deduplication and compression help to reduce the same that is needed to store multiple copies of the same piece of data.

CyberStore Storage Appliances

As storage technology continues to evolve, it becomes ever clearer that open hardware is the way forward. Our CyberStore Storage Appliances have been built through a similar transformational approach to that used by the likes of Amazon, Facebook and Google.

Our CyberStore Storage Appliances feature full compatibility to all major storage software. With this rare feature our CyberStore Storage Appliances stand out amongst the rest of the industry as the storage servers of the future. The majority of storage server providers only offer one OS per box. If you want to change to a different software, possibly for functional or efficiency reasons, you won’t be able to unless you buy a whole new box. With us, you will never have that problem. You will be able to change your operating system at any time.

In addition to being fully compatible with all major storage server software, our storage servers are never vendor locked. Many providers vendor lock their products, forcing you to have to buy any accessories you want to use with the hardware directly from them or their associates. This can be a real issue if their hardware is more expensive and less effective than 3rd party hardware you could have potentially used instead. That will never happen with us, we never vendor lock and you will have the complete freedom to use whatever 3rd party hardware best fits your functional and financial requirements.

Over three decades of reliability and cost-effective service has allowed Broadberry to become an established name in the storage server industry. Our hard work, dedication and innovation has led to us winning multiple industry awards and gaining huge international name clients such as Disney, Sky, ESPN, Virgin, Toyota, the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, Rolls-Royce, Toshiba, the BBC and many more.

Our range of CyberStore Storage Appliances mark the next stage in storage technology evolution. They are not only revolutionary but they can be configured from prices below the industry average. We aim to deliver the most manageable storage server prices you will find anywhere. We believe in delivering the very best of both worlds to our customers, the best quality products for the very best prices.
